These resume distribution services will send your resume to thousands of recruiters, headhunters, and potential employers. Some of these services also allow you to send a cover letter and some allow you some method of confidentiality.

Most of these services require that your resume (and cover letter) be text-based (or scannable), which means that all formatting must be removed. If you're unsure about this format, please see our article, Scannable Resume Fundamentals.
